MEMBER PROFILE

| Computers |
Where to begin... hmmm. I started getting into computers around the age of 7 I guess. Started out with a PacBell 486SX. Which I fell in love with of course, until I finally upgraded to the 486DX! Which I was blown away by at that time. lol Around 9 I started upgrading and building computers for other people and ran a BBS with my father named "The Laser". It was a dailup BBS with a small monthly fee and was run on WildCat. I loved that BBS and got into playing with all of the other members of the BBS with L.O.R.D. (Legend of the Red Dragon). My BBS (not up at the time of this writing) is called Line Noise and will also be running L.O.R.D. for all you BBS junkies out there. Anyways I've been into computers for as long as I can remember and hope to learn more and more as the years go by.

| Internet |
Ahhhh yes... cyberspace. I can't get enough of it. It's awesome. I've been online forever and got started chatting with people on the oldschool GeoCities chat rooms. Those things kicked ass, but of course now they are all screwed up since Yahoo! bought out GeoCities. I also had around 6 web pages back then on GeoCities by the age of 10. One was just a personal barrage of crap, but I also did free banners for anyone who came to my site needing an advertisement, logo, or banner, for free. I marked them all with the Pi symbol on the lower right hand corner (what can I say I'm a geek and "The Net" was a cool movie back then, lol). Anyways yeah. Also had a MIDI page with alot of cool music (this is before MP3's mind you), and a page with just tons of pictures of me, family, and friends. Cool huh? Yeah I didn't think so either. AH well. Now I have Data Storm to waste my life away on. = D Yay! I also own www.Data-Storm.org , www.Hacker-Alliance.com , www.Mega-Man.net , www.Encrypted-Data.com , with plenty more coming.

| Video Games |
I am a gamer at heart and my favorite genre is RPG's. If I'm going to sit down to play a game... I don't want it to be beaten just a couple hours later. My favorite would have to be Chrono Trigger and Breathe of Fire II. They cannot be beat. As for side scrolling Castlevania : Symphony of the night owns all others. I am the biggest MegaMan fan out there... I have one of the largest collections around, and I also own www.Mega-Man.net (not designed yet). Games that no one can beat me at (ok maybe they can about 1 out of 20 times (my usual winning streak till I get bored and lose one)) include : Soul Calibur I & II, Bust a Groove II, Mortal Combat : Deception, and Dead or Alive Beach VolleyBall. So if you ever wanna lose your hard earned cash... feel free to challenge me. >=) I also own around 35 different video game systems and hundreds upon hundreds of games. Probably own around a couple hundred that I haven't even played yet. The systems range from old school shit like Atari Pro System and Coleco Vision to Xbox and GameCube. Gotta get em all ya know??

| Final Thought |
Between those three topics, my job at Whirlpool, and my loving girlfriend (who is practically my clone btw...), all our frick'n pets, and these websites... I don't really have much free time. But if you ever see me in IRC or on our forums feel free to say hi. Till then...
